Connor has a conscience.

sereneorangeThursday night, Karen asked Con what time his classes started. He stated 8:30 AM and she asked if he wanted to go out to breakfast with her in the morning. He said that he did.
I woke them both up and left for work. Connor was waiting for her to finish getting ready, then went in to ask if she was almost ready at 7:00 AM. When she stated it would be 5-10 minutes more, he said that he was going to go ahead and catch the bus to school. When pressed, he admitted he wanted to just get to school and hang out with his friends.
He missed the bus and came back in. I think they briefly decided to go on to breakfast, then Karen changed her mind and said, " I think I am just going to give you a ride to school. Breakfast was supposed to be a fun time for the two of us, and I don't think sitting across from you for 45 minutes eating would be fun right now. You hurt my feelings." He didn't respond or apologize.
I was upset when Karen told me. Very disappointed. When I got home, Con had not yet arrived. Ten minutes later, he arrived with a bag with some chocolates from Keggs for her and a tearful apology. Apparently, he had been eat up with guilt all day long.
This makes me happy. I was worried that he didn't understand what a thoughtless thing he had done. She hugged him, told him the apology would have been fine, and that they were okay. She let him know that when HE wanted to go do breakfast with her, to let her know and they would make it happen.
